Revealing mistake: Will slides down the sail, aided by the knife. At the start of the next shot, when he grabs hold of the mast line, the cut in the sail runs the the bottom edge of the sail, yet, Will is actually seen falling from the top of this shot - way above the end of that knife cut.

Revealing mistake: The long bamboo pole lies directly at "Chief" Jack's back whilst he is bound by the rope.
